Then when Arsenal made one single bad challenge ( a forwards challenge at that ) the whole team react as though he’s killer someone

Arsenal weren't very good though were they?

No, they were not, neither were Newcastle.

True but they were the underdogs who did a job on the arrogant Gunners who have regressed from being an entertaining team to a stale defensive side

O.5xg for Arsenal and one shot on target

Agree with MTVN. The decision was contentious but we dont look a good team at all.

This season we've only looked good against PSV, possibly Man U and Shef Utd. Lucky to beat Man Ccity but proud we matched them. Looked OK versus Palace but after that, I'm struggling to think of a game where we played well.

Artetas signings to make the team more difficult to beat have slowed down the game and hampered us in attack. The keeper situation? A completely pointless issue that was created by Arteta and no one else. Totally unnecessary to unsettle Ramsdale IMO

I said ages ago he needs to stop trying to be a football clever clogs and try to get back to the attacking, 100MPH football that we were playing last year. At the moment, Arsenal have taken one step forward and two steps back.

yeah, i just don't think arsenal are clicking the way they did at the start of last season and the worrying thing for the top teams is that city are like a purring engine already, whereas they dont usually come good until after christmas

Good post Girth!

How did Havertz play 90 minutes today? Sadly, that was almost certainly his best performance so far in an Arsenal shirt. How the hell is he playing week in week out?: WHen will the experiment end

I have heard Arteta rant about the ref cuz I dont want hear him talking his crap. Select the best available 11 Mr Arteta. ITs the only way to manage at this level

That's a lazy argument imo.

It doesn't matter how either team played, it matters that the Referee and VAR both heavily interfered with the outcome of the match.

I remember people using similar arguments at the Qatar World Cup when France beat England, saying that "England weren't very good" like that even matters when discussing Referees either being corrupt or highly incompetent.

With all due respect, Arsenal could've played like Birmingham City or Sheffield Wednesday, and it still doesn't change the fact that Newcastle had 12 men on the pitch today.

That could also be said for Liverpool against Tottenham, but I think that we can all agree that Liverpool were harshly treated in that game.

The performance of a team being poor shouldn't be an excuse for a Referee to be a twat to said team.

What’s with Antony’s sloping shoulders !?!!

Just watching Forest v Villa
The ref and officials are missing all the off the ball fouling ( by both teams)

Agree, but I'd rather concentrate on Arsenal's 0.5 xg for the game. That had nothing to do with the ref.

Five weeks ago, we had a perfectly good goal disallowed for LIverpool. Liverpool's response was a lengthy statement that called for more transparency and training for the officials. The press and public response was to laugh at the whinging scousers instead of realizing this was going to happen again. Arteta was one of those who dismissed the decisions against Liverpool. Yet now he's outraged.

Yikes

Not liking this camera angle / situation at all for the Liverpool game


Far too close to the pitch for my liking
